I can't imagine a timeline where a portion of Germany continues to be occupied by 1995. That would entail humongous resources.

Oh it ain't occupied... Has not been for the past 25 years.
But humongous resources were indeed spent in one of the biggest and most successful social engineering program of the 20th century... Basically wiping out a whole nation from the hearts and minds of millions of people.

What happened to East Germany? Did it fall to the Soviet bloc?

What happened to East Germany? Did it fall to the Soviet bloc?

Yes. However unlike the Trizone, which was imposed into into this artificial/fake nationhood, the East was allowed to keep its identity as "Germany" by the Soviets.
So by the late 80s when Communism fell, the Trizone and the GDR didn't share much aside from language and certain cultural stuff that wasn't wiped out in the De-Germanisation process in the West. Therefore, while Trizonesians did support the GDR's quest for freedom, appetite for unification was quite low on both sides.

The former-GDR, now the Republic of Germany, might be comparatively more free compared to Trizonesia relatively speaking. While both sides clamp down harsh on stuff like Neo-Nazism, Trizonesia clamps down as hard on ideas like Pan-Germanism as well.
Trizonesia considers the German Empire as an abhorent tool of Prussian militarism, that has brought much pain to central-Europeans, and German identity as some sort of sin that has no place in the Trizone. It harks back more to the Holy Roman Empire when it comes to its foundational identity. Hence to Trizonesians, citizens of the old GDR are considered as rather close foreigners, like Canadians are to Americans.

Must say that Trizonesia is one of stupidest names for AH nations what I have seen. And why its flag looks like flag of Thailand?

I wholeheartedly agree, however I stole it from this song.

And also, the flag is the C-Pennant, which was used as a substitute national flag in Allied-occupied Germany

Pictured in The Marches ahead of the conflict of 2022, the Gwiber artillery system was in limited service when English forces crossed the border. In the first weeks of war, units of Llu Mathrafal at times operated in direct fire mode, supporting tactical withdrawals of Cymry forces.

Once the Welsh went on the advance, the 4th Archery Unit, Llu Aberffraw, who were the first Byddin unit to fully transition to Gwiber, won artillery duels with less mobile and slower firing English self propelled guns

PARACON // the first 100
PART THREE OF THIRTY-FOUR​

AN-0007 ("Planetorso") in 2028, as examined under a microscope. The "settlement" is only one of many seen on the planet's surface, itself divided between two intelligent species. Contact has not been established, and seems to be unlikely in the future.

AN-0008 ("Reanimative Prion"), as seen in tissue samples of a now-deceased patient in 2039. Its extremely virulent nature places it under High-Priority Containment status.

NOTE: Threat Levels and Priority Levels mirror the Object Classes used by the Foundation we know. High-Priority would be Keter-class, a step up from the Foundation's Euclid designation of SCP-008; this is a result of the Society/Foundation being less-experienced with handling anomalies.

Is this an OTL gun? I ask because it seems to me like it should flip over due to recoil when firing.....

December 7th, 1941, the city of New York is the victim of a large scale surprise attack, in which what was a then unidentified aircraft, bombed the city and eventually crashed.

The attack killed around 2400 people, and is remembered as "The Day That Will Live in Infamy", marking the beginning of the United States' entry into the Second World War...
​

The plane would later be identified as a Messerschmitt Me 264, otherwise known as an "Amerikabomber", one constructed as part of a program by the German Ministry of Aviation, the attack itself was a spur of the moment decision by the crew and by Willy Messerschmitt, whom believed the demonstration would gain him the lucrative contract.

The contract would be gained by Messerschmitt, which would swiftly be nationalised, however, for his actions, Willy would be rewarded with a bullet in the base of their skull...
​

Quentin Roosevelt, the President of the United States of America at the time was in Osterville, Massachusetts, would swiftly be informed of the attack, and would hurry back to Capitol City in Philadelphia, where he would give the nations declaration of war, paraphrasing a quote from his late father, telling the surely shaken nation "We're in the arena".
